Team Questionnaires

Teams and their leaders establish and sustain the conditions that enable sustainable high performance in their organizations. Whether each individual within it is aligned and accountable with clear direction, collaborating with a coherent set of objectives and outcomes, staying the course and consistently achieving expectations directly effects organisational viability and sustainability.

These questionnaires build alignment among teams and their leadership through measuring those factors foundational and essential to their effectiveness including operations, execution and morale.

Block contends that we truly act in an empowered manner only when we choose the empowerment pattern that we use in a given situation, and do so without using that pattern purely as a means to get what we want. We must also be careful to not allow other people's actions to trigger our actions, since doing that is a sure sign of our nonempowered state. When we consciously choose our empowerment pattern for its own sake, and do so in a way that is not a reaction to someone else's actions, then we are well on the way to empowering ourselves.

The Tuckman model (1965) theorizes that teams go through five stages: forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning. Teams often become frustrated due to the time it takes to form into a coherent team. Knowing there is a natural progression to performing should ease some of your anxieties.

A Team Role as defined by Dr Meredith Belbin is "A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way.” The value of Belbin Team Role theory lies in enabling an individual or team to benefit from self knowledge and adjust according knowledge to the demands being made by the external situation. The concept was derived from a study of successful and unsuccessful teams competing in Business Games at Henley Management College, England. Managers taking part in the exercise were given a battery of psychometric tests and put into teams of varying composition. As time progressed different clusters of behaviour were identified as underlying the success of the teams. These successful clusters of behaviour were then given name and knowledge of these behavioural preference by all team member facilitates team effectiveness.

Program Levels

ODR's coaches are selected for their Master Level subject matter expertise and coaching experience. When purchasing our programs to facilitate the program yourself, these levels will assist to target your choices.

Introductory: Particpants have little to no previous experience with the subject matter and the facilitator has the the ability to facilitate the learning of knowledge and skills development in practice.

Intermediate: Participants have some knowledge and/or experience with the program subject matter or related areas. In addition to knowledge and skills development, the facilitator requires the ability to engage participants at an attitudinal level. Previous training and experience with facilitation techniques for addressing participant resistance and motivation are required for navigating and negotiating the participant’s commitment which are required to achieve competence.

Professional: These resources are specifically designed organisation development interventions incorporating individual, team and organisational psychology theory and practice. Purchasers of these tools must undertake accreditation which involves a three day workshop and practical application.

Master: These comprehensive interventions require both a qualification in behavioural sciences and a partnership with an ODR consultant to deliver. Accreditation is by coaching and co-facilitation throughout the first implementation.
